Medical Areas of Interest

My clinical and academic interests include neuroanatomy, neuro-oncology, epilepsy surgery, and brain mapping. 

Interests & Hobbies

Outside of work, you will find me spending time with my wife, our two young sons, and our dog and exploring Utah's outdoors.

Why Utah?

I chose Utah because of the program's high volume of complex cranial cases, outstanding faculty mentorship, and the department's strong commitment to academic neurosurgery. The program has a collegial and supportive environment, characterized by a shared commitment to one another's well-being. Salt Lake City is also a safe, welcoming place to raise a family, with the mountains and outdoors woven into everyday life.
